Have you ever wanted to try making music in Ableton Live?
If so, Ableton Live Lite is just the right version for getting acquainted with the DAW. In celebration of Ableton Live 11 Lite becoming available with a new Splice subscription for a limited time, above we provide a complete guide for creating a track from scratch in the workstation.
First, we begin by importing some sounds we found with Create into the DAW. From there, we break down the key views and commands that are essential for navigating Live 11 Lite. Then, we arrange and edit our samples in the timeline view, chopping regions, creating transitions, and adding and automating effects. We also walk through how to add additional parts to your production, via using MIDI as well as recording audio. Lastly, we create a mix and export our final beat.
